// Pound of Flesh
Taken from William Shakespeare’s play, Merchant of Venice, the term ‘Pound of Flesh’ refers to something that is owed that needs to be paid back at every cost – revenge. This song is concerned with the vicious cycle of suffering and conflict caused especially by wars and institutionalised vengeance

// The Album
'Trust No Leaders' is a record that weaves a voyage through heavy metal history — from its roots in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal up until present day, fusing heavy metal with their signature ‘poetry performance’. Set against orchestral and cinematic soundscapes, the record also pays tribute to non-Western musical traditions, including Native American and South American folk music, Vedic chants, and Indo-Persian classical music. The lyrics bring together elements from modern theater, classical Persian poetry, to Jungian Psychology and theology. 

Commenting on the motivation behind Trust No Leaders, 
TCOMAS: "Our inspiration extends beyond musical genres and the confines of discipline.The confluence of influences in our album extend throughout time and across cultures. In retrospect, this really captures our ethos: Look back into the past for insight, and look into the future with foresight. And in doing so, we created something new of our own."

Landing about 15 months after their debut album Full Spectrum, the duo’s sophomore LP expresses a more aggressive side to the band and was recorded last summer at TCOMAS’ studio in Camden Town, London.   

Discussing the new album’s motivation, TCOMAS:
"The current crisis and the events of our time have made it necessary for us to analyse, investigate, and expose the issues in urgent need of systemic change by looking inwards into the human condition. We want the album to be a beacon of hope, for making a future that prioritises people and the environment."

Somewhere far away, where life in these parts was itself hard and dangerous,
as the sun rose, seventeen children from different families played a game called Galdur'ka.
Even though it was called a children's game, it didn't make it any less dangerous.
The game was something like hide-and-seek, but there were some features.
In the game could participate children of both sexes.
The children were divided into two groups of 8 and one princess. Some presented themselves as galdurs and others as warriors with swords. The galdurs used their dark magic to hide the princess and take away her voice. There were ten hiding locations and everyone knew about them. The galdurs could hide the princess in 5 locations and also move the princess (1 location per day).

The princess in turn had to give a total of 10 clues to the warriors (2 clues per location), and predict
where she would be taken the next day. Galdurs also came up with the other 5 clues leading to false paths (1 false clue to 1 location).
And if the warriors could not decipher the princess clues, and went on a false path, then they either lost a warrior (during the battle), or one of the warriors went to the side of the magicians because of the dark magic.

In addition to real fights among mages and warriors, a princess could be injured to varying degrees, or just get sick. This is how the children of one of the Scandinavian peoples tested the strength of each participant in this game.

Galdur'ka

"Again & Again" is a relaxed lofi hip hop track carried by a gentle blend of cello, flute and violin. The melancholic sounds of the cello form the basis, while the flute and violin lend the song an airy lightness. The music creates a calming atmosphere that transports the listener into an endless loop of serenity and repetition, just as the title suggests. Perfect for losing yourself in thought and feeling the rhythm of life.
